Ebb: I hope you didn't have to sell your soul for your market timing system, because it is truly amazing! I wish my IFTs could go on auto pilot and just follow the EbbChart rather than allow my fuzzy predictions to get involved.

Congratulations on great returns this summer.
 
Ebb,

Your system is amazing and you are one class act to share it with all of us here on the board
 
How dare I question the EbbTracker. I went into the USM yesterday and then into I fund today for the follow through. A move that would've been fine except that EbbTracker bought the -FV for an added bonus. I received the +FV for my lack of faith! :toung:

Does that chart really say +7% for August? That's crazy.

[edit]
I saw pattern 8 for Tuesday and you're playing contrarion. Looking at the statistics, I'm wondering if there were 1 or 2 up days that skewed the percentage. Still, it does look like a tossup.
 
For all of us who really don't know what we are doing, Thank You, Thank you, Thank You...I would always run for cover in the past but I am a beliver now. This board and your system are the topic of discussion in our office.

I think Dr. Faustus was the one who sold his soul, hence his name AND return.:)

lol ... well, I have to admit that for the past couple of months, I have been using the EbbChart as the underlying basis for most of my trades and then overlaying my intuition on top of that. I owe most of my success during that time period to him.

Demonic knowledge not withstanding. :)
 
I just transferred money to my I fund. I had 50% in my I fund and 50% in my S fund. I did an interfund transfer and put 90% in my I fund and left 10% in my S fund. I want to test the system out to see what kind of returns I get.

If I were keeping tracking of the money I have in TSP in Excel, how would I calculate the percentage return?
 
Ebb,
I posted this in another thread and don't think you read it.
My wife and I are both Federal employees. I started using your system on July 4th, and left my wife's account in 60I, 20C,20S. Since then my account is up $4,000 and my wife's inactive account is down $2,000. I'm now sold on your system, and have begun using your system to trade my wife's account as well.
Two weeks ago I turned 2 of my coworkers on to you and they are thrilled with their results. As of this week another 10 have jumped on board. In fact this morning I had a GS 15 call me at home asking me questions about your system. I work with over 300 federal employees at my location I think it will be a matter of time when most of them will jump on board as word spreads. I think if you continue on well I will either get a nice XMAS gift from everyone I shown your system to or have my tires slashed, ha, ha.
By the way, I would gladly pay 15 bucks a month for your system.
Thanks for all the money you have made me. Myself and coworkers have never made so much money so fast in a TSP. My wife and I made $4500 on Wednesday, and missed the 2% downturn on Tuesday.
Thanks Again
J-Kat

If it holds it is going to be around +8.5%. But I don't think that's the top for August. I think Dr Faustus has a better return this month. :)

As long as I'm in the top three it's all right by me. I want a laser pen. No, I'm not thinking of converting it into a burning laser contraption. I've seen on youtube how they combine the laser from a cd player with a penlight to do just that. The thought did cross my mind, but that's about it. :rolleyes:
 
Pretty amazing month for the ebbchart since the I-fund actually lost value. Ebb, I hear Warren Buffett is looking for a successor.......

Thanks J-Kat, I've related your story to other people already. On Christmas day, be sure and wear your running shoes -- just in case! :D
 
I'm unsure what dates some of the comments are intended for. This coming Wednesday is red, but the comments seem to indicate that you will be contrarian and remain in stocks for Wed. the 5th.

Is that correct?

Thx
GGAL
 
GGAL, the comments says that on Tuesday it's going contrarian (going stocks instead of safe haven) and will remain in the I-fund, but for Wednesday I see the system (lime green color) going to the F-fund. So I'd be making an IFT to the F-fund Tuesday morning to be in the F-fund for Wednesday. :)

Hey Ebb,

New reader here.. Maybe I missed it somewhere but what determines a contrarian play? For example todays pattern 8 was played contrarian while Thursday the 6th's pattern 8 has you staying in F. My guess is that you only go contrarian if it does NOT require IFT?

Thanks
 
Hi ATCbanjo! Tom was revamping the site and he forgot to post my new commentary for Wednesday (Thursday update included). Basically I said I wasn't playing it in contrarian mode like today's and I was going to explain tomorrow. Well I might as well say it now. I found matching patterns that contained two big dippers (-1.5% and -2.5%). When I compare past historical patterns from today's market patterns I try to get as many close matches. And with these matches showing big losses for Thursday, I think being sideline and erring on the side of caution is the better choice. :)
